On a positive note, he's consistently finding the front of the rim.

He’s two years away from being two years away.
Yeah, I don't want to watch this guy on my team. Maybe he'll be a good player, but he's kind of a buzzkill. Just not an exciting player.

that is so true all his shots seemed on target just short. The good thing he wasn't missing badly to the right or left. That usually means a strength issue. Not getting his legs into his shooting motion enough and relying upon his arms.

been watching a lot of Castle videos today and anyone else notice he is what I would call a heavy jumper. Not explosive but he has some advanced moves inside. His jumper is OK-looking and could get better but I agree he does seem to try on defense. He is gaining some favor for the Jazz pick from me.
I think his playing on a loaded UConn team with plenty of upperclassmen helps.

Inside the top 10, Castle is probably the guy I don't want. However, this in and of itself seems to increase the likelihood that the Jazz will draft him.
If I were the Jazz and all my targets were gone by #9, I might try to trade back with New Orleans for #14 and #23. I'd be looking for Chomche (watch him rise), Filipowski or Tyler Smith at #14, then BPA at #23. It's possible that Collier, Castle or Knecht would also be there at #14.

Not a bad plan. Would be crazy to have 4 picks in the draft. I guess it would be #9 and #28 or #31 for #14 and #23.
Like all drafts there are getting to be a lot of players i am liking.
With 9 there are a bunch.
With the #28 and #31 i am solid on Holmes and Kolek. I like De Silva, Simpson, Furphy. George, Scheierman, jones.
I don't like the example you gave, but might be a good draft to trade back and take multiple tries at drafting.
Jazz can move a pick if they need to, I think. NOLA might also ask for another pick coming back in that deal.
I would love to have him on this team.
I was thinking trade up. Say we stayed at 8/9. I’d be trying to move up into the 10-12 range.
